Memory Card Handling Precautions

z Memory cards are high-precision electronic

devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them,

or subject them to shocks or vibration.

z Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the

memory card.

z Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to

contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do

not touch the terminals with your hands or metal

objects.

z Do not peel away the original label on the

memory card or cover it with another label or

sticker.

z When writing on the memory card, use a soft

point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point

pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may damage

the memory card or corrupt the recorded data.

z Since some or all of the data recorded on the

memory card may be corrupted or erased by

electrical noise, static electricity or card

malfunction, making a backup copy of important

data is recommended.

z Moving a memory card rapidly between

temperature extremes will cause condensation to

form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To

avoid condensation, place the memory card in a

sealed plastic bag before moving it into a

different temperature zone and allow it to adjust

slowly to the new temperature.

z If condensation forms on the memory card, store

it at room temperature until the water droplets

have evaporated naturally.

z Do not use or store memory cards in the

following locations.

• Locations subject to dust or sand

• Locations subject to high humidity and high

temperatures
